Strategic Goals the dti’s strategic goals are: • Facilitate transformation of the economy to promote industrial development, investment, competitiveness and employment creation. • Build mutually beneficial regional and global relations to advance South Africa’s trade, industrial policy and economic development objectives. • Facilitate broad-based economic participation through targeted interventions to achieve more inclusive growth. • Create a fair regulatory environment that enables investment, trade and enterprise development in an equitable and socially responsible manner. • Promote a professional, ethical, dynamic, competitive and customer-focused working environment that ensures effective and efficient service delivery.
Global Economic Context • The global economy grew by a lower than expected 2.2% in Q1 2015. This is substantially lower than the International Monetary Fund’s April 2015 forecast of 3%. • Significantly weaker growth in US, Mexico, Canada, and UK. • Marginally stronger growth in the Eurozone. • Magnitude of slowdown in China disputed but looks substantial. The big story is the plunge in commodity prices.

Domestic Economic Context - GDP • The SA economy contracted by -1.3% in Q2 2015 in quarter-on-quarter terms. (Q1 2015, +1.3%). • In year-on-year terms Q2 2015 growth was 1.2%. • Agriculture contracted by 17.4%, Manufacturing by 6.8%, and Mining by 6.8% • Growth was recorded by Financial Services and Personal Services – by 2.7% and 1.3% respectively.
Domestic Economic Context – GDP • The causes of the weaker GDP performance are well known: • Plummeting commodity prices, • Electricity supply challenges, • Global steel glut, • Drought conditions in KZN and North-west, and • Spillover effects from Mining into Manufacturing. • Hard to over-exaggerate impact of the current commodity price shock…
Domestic Economic Context – Investment • Gross Domestic Fixed Investment dipped slightly in 2014 • Latest Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) data show that SA attracted over R140 billion in 2013-14 • SA FDI inflows also slowed in 2014 – as it did at global level • SA’s FDI performance is not unusual given that: • Many multinationals already operate in SA, • We have sophisticated financial markets to raise domestic capital, and • Our FDI stock is already high by international standards (42%).
Domestic Economic Context – Trade • Exports grew by 12% in Q2 2015 following a decline of 9.8% in Q1 2015. • A trade surplus of about R9.4 billion has been reported in Q2 2015 – the first time since Q1 2012. • China, US, Japan, Namibia and Botswana remain the top five trading partners in terms of exports.
